As someone who has experienced low energy and fatigue for many years, I know intimately the importance of a good night’s sleep, and the side effects of disrupted or insufficient sleep.

As I get older, sleep is becoming my biggest luxury and necessity.

I have to watch what and how much I drink before bedtime, as it might mean getting up in the night to go to the bathroom – and struggling to get back to sleep for the next hour.

I am also much more intentional with my bedtime routine. I welcome it as a signal that it’s that time of day for nurturing and self-care: a good book, a foot rub that helps me feel relaxed and cared for, my diffuser gently filling the air with feel-good smells.

And if I need a nana nap now and then, I give myself permission to have one without feeling guilty that I am sleeping during the day.

I trust that my body knows what it needs, and I listen to it.
